Sky Sports are proud to announce it's coverage of the British Basketball League in 2011 and the availablilty of its sought after sponsorship position. The league is the pre-eminent men's professional basketball league in the U.K. and runs two knockout competitions alongside the league championship; the BBL Cup and the BBL Trophy, as well as the pre-season face-off, the Cup Winners' Cup.
